Hey Sub.
I searched the wishlist and don't see anyone suggesting this..
For those of us using an external tuner (digital cable box, non-US,) we need to keep that box powered up all the time, so it can see channel changes from the IR blaster.
Any chance of an option to send a 'power' command via IR at the start of tuner in use and a second 'power' when no longer capturing? Or even call a batch file 30 seconds before recording or when entering live-tv?
Two reasons for this:
1. My cable box takes 400Watts of power (yeah, more than the PC)
2. Power fail turns off the box and there is no 'power on when plugged in' option, so I record black screens for the rest of the day.
Even more advanced (but I'd be happy without) would be for gbpvr to see that the incoming signal is all black and assume it's 'out of sync' with the cable box power and send a power on again.
Thanks!
